General SF

It is the first time I have use this contractor. Yevgeny arrived in less than an hour to install a new water heater. Honest and professional work, pleasant personality and most of all golden hands in the in the process of his work. I found a gem in Yevgeny as a plumber, electrician and general contractor. I know to whom I may refer to when my house needs help. Thanks!

I had a simple job - the prongs on an AC plug were unusable - and Yevgeny came right out, quickly replaced the plug, and didn't charge me much for it. Easy peasy. Honest, ethical guy who does good work. Highly recommended!

Yevgeny is that rare combination: straightforward, meticulous, and thoroughly competent. We've called him several times and have always been satisfied with his honest assessments and patient craftsmanship. Highly recommended.

I'd like to thank Eugine for honest and professional approach handling my problem with water heater (gas pilot wouldn't stay lit). I left a message explaining problem, and Eugine called me back, leaving msg with possible problems (thermocouple is broken, etc) and possible price for fixing it. Unfortunately, Eugine wasn't available to come over the same day, so I had to call another company. The guy came, said that thermocouple needs to be replaced, fixed it, and charged within the range Eugine predicted.
Good job, Eugine! Thanks!

Yevgeny is a first class operator. I came back from vacation to see water gushing down the walls. I called a few places and Yevgeny picked up after 2 rings. This guy does not mess about - and when you've got a plumbing emergency leaving a voicemail is pointless. He's smart and fast worker and identified all of the options available to me, including the quick fix and more expensive approaches. He's honest and has integrity, he really does care that you have zero reason to complain. He even honored a quote despite him having to install equipment he hadn't counted on.

Yevgeny is outstanding. He went above and beyond expectations to make sure that I was happy. Honest and professional quality service. I had a clogged shower drain that he successfully remedied. He took the time to come to my home, late at night after I got off of work. His charges are exceeding reasonable.

May I start by saying that if it was possible to give 6 stars, I would.
Yevgeny Dubinsky with General SF exceeded all expectations and without hesitation I give him the highest possible recommendation. He is the most honest, hard working, and detailed contractor that I have ever worked with, and his rates are incredibly reasonable considering the outstanding quality of work done.

I have included a high amount of further detail below for anyone that would like to read more.

Yevgeny did a closet/pantry expansion project for me that ended up going many weeks past the estimated original timeline through no fault of his own (many unexpected bumps, including a foundation issue that we discovered after work had begun). I ended up getting to know him very well and spoke with him in person almost every day during that period, often for 15-20 minutes or more - this included Sundays - and he is as hard of a worker as you will ever find.

My experience in all that time was above and beyond, A+, and without exception he has been unbelievably detailed and thorough with not only the work itself, but also explaining how and why, in person, what the correct way to do something (whatever stage, or item, or challenge that problem presented).

One word about phone communication with Yevgeny that I feel is important to note: He does have a slight accent and so occasionally over the phone it can be difficult to understand something he was explaining, and there was more than once that I slightly misunderstood him initially - however, when we connected in person, it made 100% sense when we were able to talk it out in person. There's no doubt that the fact that with his accent + english is not his first language can present occasional barriers to understanding each other clearly on the phone. The way he speaks can occasionally be confusing, especially when he is busy or has something else going on in the background. That said, he actually has a very good command of our language and is a very smart guy, so in ALL circumstances, our communications were excellent and very clear and well-understood in-person. So in sum, phone communication can occasionally be challenging with Yevgeny, but in-person is never a problem and in fact he always goes above & beyond to make sure the customer is 100% completely on board and clear with the next step(s).

I have also found Yevgeny to be 100% honest and forthright and ALWAYS looking for ways the customer can save a bit of money while still keeping the integrity of the work and the materials at the highest level. Which I think is highly unusual and rare from most contractors. I have a feeling that very few contractors are this detailed and this honest and this good, and still have extremely reasonable prices, especially in the city.

In summary, the final product at completion has 100% not only met but EXCEEDED my expectations in every regard, and that includes the revised price after all the extra work that was required.

if you team up with Yevgeny I think you will really be happy with the results.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further info.

Finally an honest and caring contractor! Everyone had bad experience with contractors and Yevgeny is the exception! I was originally thinking to build an outdoor kitchen with sink, Yevgeny came over and carefully examined everything, then told me that I could not do it because the waste water has no where to go, the yard drain system only takes clean water. I really appreciated his honesty and it save me tens of thousands dollars to build something that I could not use later. Since Yevgeny is such an honest guy, I consulted him of my balcony flooring job, Yevgeny did estimation carefully and also told me what the pros and cons of doing it. Again it turns out that I would be better off if I do not go with the approach I had on my mind before. Then we went further to discuss what options I have which is better and cheap. He recommended me to use epoxy which is cheap and look nice. For almost two hours consultancy, it is all FREE! I could not appreciate Yevgeny more for being honest to me and providing me the best solution for my problem. I will definitely go for Yevgeny for any questions relating to plumbing or contractor work!
